On a walk around the garden lately, I did see some signs of spring...
Yep! That is rhubarb making it's appearance. Not real impressive, I know, but still ya have to take what you can get. Can't wait for rhubarb crisp!!
Some of my bulbs are up and the croci have bloomed adding some much desired color.
There is our little bit of color.
It is obvious that this winter has left quite a bit of tree shrapnel in the yard. There are pine cones, branches and bark all over the yard. Going to be quite a bit of work this spring cleaning up.
Blessed Creator,
Thou hast promised thy beloved sleep;
Give me restoring rest needful for tomorrow's toil.
If dreams be mine, let them not be tinged with evil.
Let thy Spirit make my time of repose a blessed temple of his holy presence.
Help me when I helpless lie,
when my conscience accuses me of sin,
when my mind is harassed by foreboding thoughts,
when my eyes are held awake by personal anxieties.
Show thyself to me as the God of all grace, love and power;
thou hast a balm for every wound,
a solace for all anguish,
a remedy for every pain,
a peace for all disquietude.
Permit me to commit myself to thee awake or asleep.
~ an excerpt from "Sleep" from The Valley of Vision

Those little bits of green poking through the soil of winter are encouraging, aren't they?
God Bless!
